Irmos: Once, in Babylon, the youths who had come forth from Judæa trod down the flame of the furnace with their faith in the Trinity, chanting: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
Thou didst nurture thy flock on the verdure of the kingdom of the Most High, O father, and, driving away the wild beasts of the heresies with the staff of Orthodox dogmas, thou didst chant: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
Theotokion: From thy womb did the Lord of all issue forth incarnate, O Virgin. Wherefore, understanding in Orthodox manner that thou art the Theotokos, we cry out to thy Son: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
Into the upper bridal chamber of the kingdom of Christ hast thou entered, clad in vesture worthy of a guest, and therein thou hast reclined at the banquet, crying out: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
A river of abstinence devoid of sin wast thou shown to be, O father, drowning evil thoughts and washing away the defilement of those who with faith cry out: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
